Good times in the kitchen

Easter Sunday was pretty mellow. Kyle was not feeling too well, so we stayed in most of the day and just relaxed. That evening however we made a random dinner that ended up being very good!! We chopped up a bunch of chicken and tomatoes, then mixed in some pesto and mozzarella cheese, grilled the mixture, then put it on a bed of spinach on top of a whole-wheat pita! It was great, and so fun to cook together!

Another random kitchen story...some of our Australian friends introduced us to the Tim-Tam Slam. I've attached an explanation from Wikipedia. We use coffee of course, but the snack is amazing with tea as well!

The Tim Tam Slam (or Tim Tam straw) is the practice of drinking a beverage by sucking it through a Tim Tam, an Australian chocolate-covered biscuit. The practice is done by sucking through a Tim Tam with both ends bitten off. According to the Toxic Custard guide to Australia, this procedure is done as follows:

  1. Prepare a cup of tea (or other hot or cold drink)
  2. Remove the Tim Tam from the packet
  3. Bite a small section off two diagonally opposite corners
  4. Dip one corner into the drink
  5. Suck on the other corner, which will mix the drink with little pieces of the biscuit
  6. When the Tim Tam begins to fall apart in your hand, eat the whole biscuit
  7. Obtain another Tim Tam from the packet and return to step 3

It should be noted, however, that some Australians prefer to bite both ends off entirely, as opposed to just the corners. [1]
